“Has he been net positive for humanity overall” would be be clearer that it’s looking at everything he’s done so far
But I actually think it’s more interesting if it’s an ambiguous question. The stuff he’s done so far is significant but not necessarily aligned with what he’s doing now and what he might do or intend to do in future. The trajectory he is on now is… not upward. The influence that he has now isn’t necessarily more than when few people knew who he was, and he sounded more strategic as well as more amicable then. And the stuff he may or may not do in future is speculation.

Ok, thanks. I leave it like this, then. Then everyone will have answered to the same question :-)
